激励你做有趣事情的人

1. Describe a person who inspired you to do something interesting You should say: Who he/she is How you knew him/her What interesting thing you did And explain how he/she inspired you to do it

答案:

One individual who has profoundly inspired me is my former high school teacher, Mr. Thompson. I first encountered him during my sophomore year when he taught an innovative course on environmental science. His passion for the subject was contagious, and he had an uncanny ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging for students.

Under his guidance, I participated in a community project focused on sustainable gardening. This initiative involved transforming a derelict piece of land into a thriving garden that not only produced food but also served as an educational hub for local children. Mr. Thompson's enthusiasm for sustainability was infectious, and he always encouraged us to think critically about our impact on the environment and our responsibility to the planet.

What truly inspired me was his dedication to making a difference and his belief in the power of youth to effect change. He often quoted the saying, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” which resonated deeply with me. This motivated me to engage in the gardening project with a sense of purpose and responsibility.

Through this experience, I not only learned about agriculture and sustainability but also developed a profound appreciation for community service. Mr. Thompson ignited a passion in me that led to a lifelong commitment to environmental advocacy, which I continue to pursue today in various capacities.

一个深深激励我的人是我的前高中老师,汤普森先生。我在我高二的时候第一次遇到他,当时他教授一门创新的环境科学课程。他对这个主题的热情传染性的,他有一种非凡的能力,使复杂的科学概念对学生来说变得易懂引人入胜

在他的指导下,我参与了一个以可持续园艺为主题的社区项目。这个倡议涉及将一块荒废的土地转变为一个繁荣的花园,不仅生产食物,还作为当地儿童的教育中心。汤普森先生对可持续发展的热情是感染性的,他总是鼓励我们批判性地思考自己对环境的影响以及我们对地球的责任

真正激励我的是他的奉献精神和对青少年改变世界能力的信任。他常常引用“成为你希望看到的变化”的说法,这让我深有感触。这促使我以一种使命感和责任感参与这个园艺项目。

通过这个经历,我不仅学习了农业和可持续性,还对社区服务产生了深刻的欣赏。汤普森先生在我心中点燃了一种激情,使我终身致力于环保宣传,我至今仍在不同的领域追求这一目标。
